Time passed by, Auron had been on the eighth floor for eight hours on his swordsman character. As Auron climbed higher, the number of soldiers became more few. Hence, with the ratio of monsters and soldiers on this floor, Auron had to fight an unfavorable battle.
During these eight hours, Auron had run away from more than five battles because of the ratio between soldiers and monsters. At first, Auron relaxedly fought against one or two monsters. However, suddenly, a quite of number came approaching him.
Auron still tried his best to kill these monsters. However, the stream of monsters didn't end. Auron even had to take some damage. In the end, Auron had to escape without getting anything. This made his quest's progress halt for quite a few times.
After these eight hours, Auron had only completed two-fifth of his quest. He still needed to kill around 120 monsters more.
